>We update customer price lists from Excel spreadsheets. Over the years I have been able to read any of the values that might be in a cell but this one has me pulling my hair out.

>The part numbers are in a format of 999.999 Most of the time but sometimes 999.999ABC and sometimes 999.9999. The problem is that although the part number shows as 123.456 or 123.4567 in the cell, TRANSFORM() converts it to 123.45670000000. Any ideas on how to grab the number as it should be. I can't just trim the number as the length varies and sometimes does end in 00.

Not sure if this will work for you but.......
Can you format the column as TEXT in the spreadsheet?
Something like

oas = oxl.application.activesheet
oas.columns(??).select
xl.selection.numberformat = "@"

We do this when creating a spreadsheet. I don't know if it will work after the fact.

If it does work, then you don't need the TRANSFORM() since the value will be a string.
